Arugula Pesto Transforms A Bowl Of Pasta

When I traveled to England, I fell in love with a little cafe that served "Rocket Salad."  When I came back to the States, I discovered that's what the Brits call Arugula. Good to know!

Let's talk health benefits. Arugula is high in vitamin C and potassium.

Arugula has a pretty strong, peppery flavor for a green, so pairing it with pasta is a great option for those who aren't crazy about those Rocket Salads. No need to cook this pesto, just add to hot pasta.
